It's amazing how RI figured out how to mess up pizza

"Pizza" shouldn't even be in the name. It's a piece of bread with tomato paste on it.

In upstate NY, they are called tomato pie.

In new haven a tomato pie is an entirely different animal and its glorious.

I'm going to agree with you and with the downvotes, somehow.
I've been a RIer for a loooong time but was originally a New Yorker. I got made fun of for holding a pizza slice (real pizza) using the fold technique. The person was laughing while I was like, "This is like getting made fun of for shooting a basketball normally instead of granny style."
All due respect for people who like the granny shot for free throws and red strips for parties (I sometimes bring 'em), but the following is how you shoot a basketball, even for a free throw:

…and the following is pizza:
Sure, there's room for coal-fired, wood fired, grilled, apizza (New Haven), deep dish (hi Chicago--we can get along), and their cousins red pizza/ pizza strips/ bakery pizza/ party pizza/ whatever. Even in NY, Sicilian is recognized (and sometimes preferred); and we can all appreciate a calzone.

Um, little Vincent's is OK if it's after last call and you're too drunk to know any better. Otherwise it's trash level.

The choice of "trash level" disarms that comment. Maybe they've gone downhill, but there's no reason to believe so here. I'm guessing they're still the best.
Huntington people know pizza. That spot is expensive for the owners. LV's not going to survive just on blackout-drunk buyers a few nights a week. Last I heard, they weren't just surviving.
I'll give the comment this: people have always gone there after having more than a couple of drinks. There are few things that go so well with after-bar munchies than two awesome slices of LV with cold mozz thrown on top. NYC's Halal Guys would be an example of something else I crave in that kind of situation. Haven Bros rocks for me, too. It's also a fucking treat to see an order of 4 all the way bring joy.
LV has always been hopping well outside of drunk hours. Decades of double-parked cars lapping up boxes to take away the "trash."
To people who want post-party DiRaimo's (assuming it's still around and awesome), I'd say, "Sweet--I'm coming, too." Maybe I'd talk some "trash," but not in some impotent way. Good pizza is not a zero sum game.
Yucking someone's yum is pathetic. Sometimes, it's a special kind of stupid pathetic. On subjective matters, it's hard to be wrong--hard but achievable.
